Airport (1970): Snow Problems at The Lane

The clip Snow Problems at The Lane from Airport (1970) with Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin

What's this you've found?
Your brother-in-law was on the snow clearance committee.
Here's the report.
It says the airport, meaning me, has been inefficient...
in snow clearance-
Grossly inefficient.
causing flight delays, loss of revenue to airlines,
et cetera.
Signed Captain Vernon Demerest, Chairman.
How can he say this?
Because he's a no-good, irresponsible louse...
who'll take every opportunity to knife me.
Mobile One, snow desk. Where are you?
At the ramp.
Mel, Commissioner Ackerman wants you at the terminal. Trouble.
I'm on my way.
Close down runway 22.
Keep moving, please.
Close down runway 22.
Keep moving, please.
Close down runway 22.
They'll break it up after the TV cameras get a few shots.
TV?
A lawyer arranged for news coverage.
That's all we need.
I'd better get in touch with the other commissioners.
Afterwards you and I will meet and figure something out...
to calm those people down. I'll call you.
WOMel!
Hi, Sis. I thought Vern was on flight two.
He is.
Sure here early enough.
With the weather and traffic, Vernon didn't want to be late,
but we just sailed right along.
I thought they were pilots picketing you.
I was set to join them.
I heard about your report. Besides everything else,
now you're an authority on snow clearance?
I call them as I see them.
You need an eye check.
Clearing those runways and taxiways is the equivalent...
of 700 miles of two-lane highway.
And I'll bet you measured every foot of it all by yourself.
We've had 10 inches of snow in 24 hours.
